Went to start the Jeep and the entire dash cluster was out. I had just gotten it serviced 2 days before it went out and there was no warning or indication that the cluster panel was damaged. Due to this issue I’m unable to see any speed, gas levels, signaling, oil level and any other signal indicators from the dash. This is extremely problematic and renders the vehicle unsafe to drive. It was inspected by the dealership and another mechanic and both parties confirmed the dash cluster was broken and needed to be replaced and that several other 2019-2020 Jeep Wranglers had been brought in with the same problem.

Main cluster went out cannot see gas or mileage noting important will display.

The instrument cluster has stop functioning and you can't see milage, gas or any of the warning lights within the cluster panel. I was not in an accident but wanted to report the problem of the cluster since my Jeep was not included in the recall. I have an estimate of 1,600. For a repair from Jeep mechanic.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, several unknown warning lights flashed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on several occasions, where various repairs were performed; however, the failure returned after each repair. The contact then stated that the entire instrument panel had gone blank; as a result, the speedometer, fuel gauge, odometer mileage, and other various features were unavailable.

The 48v etorque power pack unit (ppu), bpcm, and associated cables failed on my 2019 Jeep Wrangler, causing the vehicle to stall and lose all acceleration while driving on the highway. All components are available for inspection upon request. In June 2025, a non-Jeep service center identified stored diagnostic code p0a9c-00 (48v hybrid battery temperature sensor circuit performance failure) along with multiple low voltage codes in the power steering system. The technician noted the issue needed to be addressed by an authorized Jeep dealer, as there was insufficient information to perform a repair on the 48v hybrid system. In September 2025, while driving on the highway, the engine stalled and the vehicle completely lost acceleration and would not restart. The vehicle required towing to an authorized Jeep dealer. A sudden and unexpected loss of acceleration and engine stall on a highway creates an extreme risk of rear-end collision and potential serious injury or fatality to the driver and other motorists. The problem was confirmed by an authorized fca/Jeep dealer who found the same diagnostic code p0a9c-00, along with corrosion buildup on the 48v connector pins and bpcm pins. Two separate fca star cases were opened by the dealer. The power pack unit battery was identified as the failed component. The dealer confirmed that the 48v cables required for repair are currently unavailable through Chrysler under any parts specifier, meaning fca cannot supply the necessary parts to remedy this known defect. The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized fca dealer on two separate occasions nine months apart, with the defect remaining unresolved on both visits due to fca parts unavailability. Warning symptoms including low voltage codes and the p0a9c-00 fault code were first identified in June 2025, approximately three months before the highway stall event, indicating this was a progressive and worsening defect. The issue was first reported in June 2025 and remains unrepair.

Alternator stopped working no warning no lights nothing just stopped.

I drove over a rough patch/bump in the road. A ton of warning messages and failure lights activated on the dash. In addition to the check engine light, there were warnings for electronic stability protection, sway bar disconnect, abs failure, power steering failure, shift lever malfunction. In addition to these malfunctions a failures, the windshield wipers turned on un-commanded and the radiator fan went into the highest possible speed, the digital engine temperature gauge failed, and both the digital and analog speedometers failed. This happened on a arterial road, losing power steering and braking at ~30mph unexpectedly was a shock, but manageable. At highway speeds it likely would have led to an accident or collision. Unfortunately, I don't have any documentation of the failure lights and systems failing, but it had happened several times prior to this occurrence, albeit only with dash warning lights, no actual system failures. After the system failures, I stopped driving the vehicle. The problem appears to be somewhat widespread and is caused by a failing can-c bus. A quick google search will reveal numerous descriptions on the same dangerous issue. This thread seems to clearly expiain the root of the issue with the can-c bus: [xxx] I replaced my old can-c bus (p/n 68321746aa) with a new part and it appears to have resolved the issue. I have saved the old can-c bus for inspection if NHTSA is interested. It looks exactly like the failed bus in the linked reddit thread above.

The instrument panel cluster that shows the speed, odometer, and fuel levels has been sporadically 'going out' while driving. On Friday 7/18, it went out completely and did not come back on. This affects safety of driving in that I have no idea how fast I'm driving or fuel levels. I have to rely on iphone capabilities for speed, which is not as accurate. The problem has been inspected by a mechanic and he indicated that the instrument panel cluster would need to be replaced at a cost of close to $2,000. He indicated that there was a recall on 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler models involving a safety issue with the ipc and that it may experience a short circuit and fail, potentially causing the display to go blank and hindering the driver's ability to see critical information like speed and warning lights. Recall# 24v652000 indicated this failure could increase the risk of a crash. Per the mechanic recall info was sent October 2024 yet I did not receive anything. Per the site my VIN# is not included in this recall. I believe this is the exact issue that other vehicles were called and this particular vehicle should be included in this ipc recall.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the vehicle was restarted. The contact continued to drive, but the power steering became inoperable. The contact stated that the vehicle became extremely hot, and the cells popped and damaged the battery.

I have had the recall completed but now my car to give a “service transmission “ message and that there is a problem with my clutch getting hot. There is no burning smells. Are no issues such as rough gear changes or engine issues. It states the clutch is overheating and I’ve barely left the driveway. And this is after sitting still overnight didn’t the recall fix this issue? it’s terrifying as it comes up stating that the transmission needs to be service then all information as to what gear you are in disappears while you are driving. This isn’t a recall fix it’s a nightmare. It wasn’t having a problem before but now it warning messages act like it’s going to burn up. There is no burning smells no rough gear changes. Afraid to drive it.

Shortly after starting the vehicle and entering roadway, the power steering failed and shortly following an error came on regarding the abs system. I was able to pull the vehicle over safely, restart and the issue seemed resolved in that use. Next day, shortly after starting vehicle, same errors occurred, but self corrected. The day after that, shortly after starting the vehicle, all systems on the front panel cycled through several error codes, when attempting to shut the vehicle off to restart it, the vehicle would not shut off. Using the standard transmission, I was able to create a stall situation, but the vehicle's electrical would not shut off. After removing the key fab, the electrical system kept activating power systems, even turning on the windshield wipers when the control was in the off position. After 20 minutes and several attempts I was finally able to get the system to completely shut off.

I was driving my 2019 Jeep Wrangler to work and my Jeep started throwing all the things on the dash, start/stop lost communication, abs system lost communication, plus several other issues and I went into limp mode. I had it towed to the dealership to find out what was wrong and they told me it was the abs module. That was on Wednesday June 11th, 2025. It was 3 weeks before they got the part. When they went to program the abs module, it froze up and they had to order another one that took a week to get in. They replaced it again and told me, it was fixed. I picked it up on Wednesday, July 8th, around 5:00 pm and on that Friday, July 11th, at noon my check engine light came on again. I’m taking it in tomorrow to see what it is this time. So far it’s just the check engine light and I’m praying it don’t quit on me getting it there. There should definately be a recall on the abs module. I’ll be writing another update after I see what’s going on tomorrow.

Like everyone elses Jeep while driving, all the warning signals, bells, whistles start going off. Lose power steering, lose power, put Jeep in park, cannot get it to go back in drive. Soemtimes will not start just look it up on tictok.

While driving I received random warnings on the dashboard: airbag failure, power steering failure, shift control failure, abs failure. After the flashing of all those warning, I lost the power steering and the ability to shift from drive to neutral. My inability to steer the car and loss of speed put my passengers and myself at risk and the safety of cars driving on the opposite lane at risk as I was able only to make very wide turns. I took the car to the dealer and after about two weeks the mechanic narrowed down the problem to a failure of the abs module and told me that that part is on backorder nation wide and may take over 3 months to come. I was advised to not drive the car or to drive at my own risk.

The internal cluster went out all of a sudden. Stenallis has no part for us to repair it with. We have been without the car and no loaner for almost 4 months. There is a recall on this part on this model in this year. However, stenallis won't recall my particular car which is currently affected. The recall should expand because it is on more models than they admit.

Recall 30b regarding the instrument panel cluster is affecting my Jeep it only has 30k miles and is defective. Diagnosed 5/13/25 by mitchell auto group service department in avon, CT.

My steering wheel will lock up while driving, my windshield wipers start going off, spedometer goes to zero and won't work, the gas light goes to completely empty and won't move, when I push on the gas it won't go, my engine light goes off and starts saying service module and lists several different things. When I put it in park it won't shift into gear so I can drive it. I have to turn it off and back on several times until it will finally let it go into gear. I have tried to get it fixed and they said the abc module needs to be replaced but it's been on national back order for over a year and can't find one available. I'm trying to find even a refurbished one and have not been able to.

Dash panel started flashing all gauges went to zero. All warning lamps lit abs failure, power steering stopped, service antilock breaks, service electronic stability control, auto park disabled and service shift warnings started popping up. I was going 70 mph on the highway when the power steering went out. Luckily I didn’t hit anyone.

On may 10 2025 the instument panel stopped working, none of the gages work. Not able to detect speed, gas, turn signals etc. Took it to an independent service center, was told the instrument cluster lost communication with the cars computer. Has not been inspected by the dealer. No warning, everything on the instrument cluster just shut off.
